"And if you were to encourage another's attention... let them touch you and taste like I have... I will lie you down next to their bloody corpse and claim you where all can see..." The words rumble deep from his chest as he speaks the words onto the soft skin of my throat, the searing intent of his promise branding me, syllable by syllable. ".... ensuring no one ever makes the same mistake again."

Fear wars with rage as I hiss, "You mistake me for some spoiled, high society brat with no spine or voice of her own. My strength doesn't come from my physical capacity, it comes from my will... and I will not be threatened by a bully... of any form. If I fall a hundred times, I will stand up a hundred and one."

"You, my fierce warrior..." whispering is my ear as I stand trembling, a sapling bending but refusing to break in the howling winds, "... are perfect."

Alessandro was a prince of darkness.
Mikaela, his princess, the light that he sought in a dark world.

She thought he was the wealthy, charming son of her parents' lifelong friends.
But he had come to steal her from her home as her parents watched through their tears.

She knew monsters lurked in the dark edges of society, had heard about the Priestesses who trained in the temples. She was even aware they wielded an ancient type of power, but her parents kept her innocent to the details. They kept her away from the unpleasantness of the real world, trained her to be a lady.

Until one day, when her entire life was turned upside down.

Alessandro wanted her and nothing would stand in his way. He had watched and waited for so long, would give her anything she desired in the whole world...except her freedom.

But freedom can be an illusion. You can't run away from yourself.

Sometimes in adversity, you find strength... strength you perhaps didn't know you possessed.
